Объектом исследования являются жидкометаллические двухфазные (Ж+ИМС) и гомогенные сплавы празеодима и неодима с эвтектическим расплавом Ga-Sn. Цель работы – определение термодинамических характеристик празеодима и неодима в эвтектических сплавах Ga-Sn в температурном диапазоне 573 1073 К. В отчете проведен анализ литературных данных об активности, коэффициентах активности и растворимости празеодима и неодима, в индивидуальных галлии и олове. Отдельная глава посвящена анализу литературных данных о термодинамических характеристиках празеодима и неодима в сплавах с индием и висмутом, так как в изучаемом температурном интервале эти сплавы могут быть использованы в качестве электродов сравнения.Objects of the study are two-phase and homogeneous liquid alloys of praseodymium and neodymium with Ga-Sn eutectic melt. The purpose of investigation is determination of thermodynamic properties of praseodymium and neodymium in the eutectic Ga-Sn alloys at the temperature range 573 1073 K. The report analyzed the published data on the activity, activity coefficient and solubility of praseodymium and neodymium, in gallium and tin. Separate chapter contains analysis of published data on the thermodynamic characteristics of alloys of praseodymium and neodymium with indium and bismuth because such alloys are suitable as reference electrodes at investigated temperatures.Программа развития УрФУ на 2013 год (п.1.2.2.3

Mechanisms of interacting <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> with gastric mucosal epithelium. II. A reaction of gastric epithelium on <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> colonization and persistence

Gastric and duodenal recurrent inflammatory diseases have a high prevalence, but the role played by microbes in its development remained unclear. However, the data published in 1983 by Marshall and Warren about isolating Helicobacter pylori from the stomach mucosa of the patient with gastritis and proposing relevant cultivation methods was the turning point in investigating etiology of the upper digestive tract inflammatory disorders. Moreover, it was shown that the majority of H. pylori spp. are found within the gastric lumen upon colonization, whereas around 20% of them are attached to the epithelial cells in the stomach. In addition, effects of interacting H. pylori with gastric epithelium and activation of some defense mechanisms due to bacterial colonization and spreading were analyzed. It was found that along with triggering pro-inflammatory response induced by proteins VacA as well as phosphorylated/unphosphorylated CagA, wherein the latter is able to induce a set of protective reactions H. pylori disrupts intercellular contacts, affects epithelial cell polarity and proliferation, and activates SHP-2 phosphatase resulting in emerging diverse types of cellular responses. The activation mechanisms for the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway were discussed. The ability of H. pylori to regulate apoptosis, particularly via its suppression, by expressing ERK kinase and protein MCL1 facilitating bacterial survival in the gastric mucosa as well as beneficial effects related to bacterial circulation on gastric epithelial cell survival elicited by anti-apoptotic factors were also examined. Of note, persistence of H. pylori are mainly determined by activating transcriptional factors including NF-κB, NFAT, SRF, T-cell lymphoid enhancing factor (TCF/LEF), regulating activity of MCL1 protein, in turn, being one of the main anti-apoptotic factors, as well as induced production of the migration inhibitory factor (MIF). The role of VacA cytotoxin in triggering epithelial cell apoptosis via caspase-mediated pathways was also considered. Infection with H. pylori is accompanied by release of proinflammatory cytokine cocktail detected both in vitro and in vivo. In particular, bacterial urease activating transcriptional factor NF-κB was shown to play a crucial role in inducing cytokine production. Moreover, such signaling pathways may be activated after H. pylori is attached to the cognate receptor in the gastric epithelial surface by interacting with CD74 and MHC class II molecules. Finally, a role for various CD4+ T cell subsets, particularly type 17 T helper cells (Th17) in inducing immune response against H. pylori antigens in gastric mucosa was revealed were also discussed

SURGICAL TREATMENT OF ANEURYSMAL PELVIC BONE CYSTS IN CHILDREN

The outcomes of evaluation and treatment of 9 patients aged from 3 to 17 years with aneurismal Ilium cysts (AIC) are described. All patients with AIC were operated in a stage of delimitation. A surgical technique including an open removal of abnormal tissue with replacing a formed bone defect with an osteoplastic materialin isolation or in combination with an unfreebone graft out of iliac crest was applied for treatment. Recurrence of the pathological process was not observed in any case. Inactive residual cavities were found in 3 patients. 6 patients demonstrated complete organotypic restructuring of allografts in the zone of surgery. Application of a wedge resection of the pathological focus accompanied by post-resection defect grafting with a mix of cortical and demineralized allografts, localization of aneurysmal cyst in the ilium wing, and performing combined bone grafting to treat a pathological focus located in over-acetabular area, demonstrated favorable outcomes in a 4-year follow-up

COMBINATION OF DISTRACTION OSTEOSYNTHESIS AND BONE PLASTIC AT TREATMENT OF CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL LOW LIMB-LENGTH DISCREPANCY

Research objective was the estimation of combination distraction osteosynthesis with bone plastic in treatment of children with congenital lower limb discrepancy. Results of surgical treatment of 26 children (17 girl and 9 boys) with congenital lower limb-length discrepancy are analyzed. The method consists in creation of superfluous osteogenesis in the field of prospective lengthening. The control group included 10 patients with whom lengthening was carried out by typical way. Results: at the analysis of roentgenograms faster formation of a new bone has been revealed in basic group (on the average for 7,8 days faster on each centimetre of lengthening). Combination of distraction osteosynthesis and combined bone plastics shortened the treatment period by accelerating new bone regeneration during distraction osteogenesis of the children with congenital low limb-length discrepancy

Evolution of a Large-Scale Agglomeration Labour Market (Based on the Example of the Krasnoyarsk Agglomeration)

The article presents a methodical solution of the problem of Krasnoyarsk agglomeration labour market research in compliance with OECD methodology, under deficiency of official statistical information on municipalities. Besides that, we analysed the tendencies of Krasnoyarsk agglomeration labour market within the period from 1999 to 2011, examined territorial asymmetry of the agglomeration labour market and came to the conclusion on the way this asymmetry influences the dynamics of the labour market key indicators.В статье представлено методическое решение проблемы исследования рынка труда Красноярской агломерации в соответствии с методологией ОЭСР в условиях дефицита официальной статистической информации по муниципальным образованиям. Проанализированы тенденции изменения состояния рынка труда Красноярской агломерации за период с 1999 по 2011 год. Рассмотрена пространственная асимметрия рынка труда агломерации и сделаны выводы о её влиянии на формирование динамики ключевых индикаторов рынка труда
